元代掐絲琊器的製作仅為皇家服務,但由於製作技術不成熟與生產规模有限,產量亚不高。在明代大多數時期,铜胎掐絲珐琊顏料為皇宫贵族所獨享,大明宫廷内有「御用」,内設專门製作珐琊器物的作坊。清康熙十九年,武英殿、養心殿特設造瓣處「珐琊作」以掐絲珐琊技藝。
拍品造型端莊大方,内外满圖案,寓意吉祥,極富装飾性。全器共用了紅、白、黄、黑、天藍、海藍、青、墨等多種釉料装飾,鲜明麗。洗心畫面以密集的掐勾雲紋填補空白處,枝蓮葉子呈小蝌蚪形,均具同時期漆器等装飾手法,為少兒之明晚期大尺寸琊製品。
巴黎装飾藝術博物館藏有一件掐絲珐琊葵瓣形折沿洗(附圖1),為1923年洛蒙·德·羅斯柴爾德男爵夫人(Baronne SalomondeRothschild)遗贈,此件與本品形制、工藝、紋飾怖局等如出一辙,仅局部有,應為同組器類,圖見《Cloisonné,ChineseEnamels from theYuan,Ming,andQingDynasty》,编號66。還可對比一件故宫博物院藏品(附圖2),主體器型與拍品相似,装飾海屋添圖,另安三足改為炭盆,館藏编號:故00118509。同館還藏有一件圆形洗(附圖3),洗心装飾有類似的山水樓閣圖案,工藝、紋飾怖局等皆舆拍品有相似之處,圖载《故宫博物院藏品大系一珐器编2》,真128,圖95。

百實嵌排屏肇始於明,集般名贵材質與工藝於一體,深為皇室所好,乃明清宫廷重要之装飾器物。高濂於《遵生八篆》中赞日:「其費心思工本,誠為一代之」。此對排屏,典雅富麗,兩幅面既各自成章,又相互映,津然構成喜慶吉祥之圖式。構圖疏密得當,嵌工精細嚴整,且有乾隆御題詩。翻閣館藏資料可知,清宫舊藏之百寶嵌排屏,大多未飾御題詩,是以,此對拍品堪為其中之精品之作,必出自清宫造辦處。
排屏以紫檀為框,屏心施古雅的黄漆為底,用嵌百寶工藝装飾花烏圖,匯瑪瑙、碧玉、白玉、紫檀等多種名貴材質於一體,嵌老樹梅花、玉蘭爭春、喜瑞烏、洞石花卉等,紋飾精美,層次豐富,極具立體感。
其中一屏白梅蕊,芽初萌,喜立於枝頭,振翅欲飛,其下點缀紅色瑞草。左上角刻乾隆御製詩《題鄂一桂花卉册》中「梅」篇(附圖1),詩雲:「水作精神玉作花,英點古槎,枝頭麻雀雙楼,香萝初醒月欲斜。御題梅萼」。後落款「臣王杰敬書」,鈴印「臣」「杰」。另一屏上,玉蘭繁花似錦,潔白瑩潤,長尾瑞鳥楼息其間,舆左屏相互呼應,生動傅神。下方翠石之畔,黄花點缀,顯雍容華貴之態。右上角題高宗御製詩《題楊大章花卉二十四種》中「玉蘭」一篇(附圖2),雲:「玉為花香是蘭,庭雅合株攒,問識得菌中趣,幼度曾聞答謝安。御題玉蘭」,落款及鈴印同前。
王杰,字偉人,號悍園,陕西韓城人,出身寒門,乾隆二十六年(1761年)状元,深得乾隆、嘉慶兩代皇帝器重。官至束閣大學士、軍機大臣,加太子太傅,是乾隆後期至嘉慶初年的重臣。王杰亦善書法,風格端莊工整,受館閣體影響较深。乾隆皇帝曾封三位書法家為「天地人」,分别為:张照(得天)、曹秀先(地山)、王杰(偉人)。
《題一桂花卉册》收錄於《清高宗御製詩三集》中,共欺十一種花鳥,計「梅、桃柳、梨、紫藤、蘭、茉莉、夜來香、翠雀、萱、桂、梅」,其中「梅」居首篇。另據《石渠寶笈》所錄,此花卉册真共八幅,每幅皆有御筆行書題詩,册真還鈴有「五福五代堂古稀天子寶」、「八微耄念之寶」等藏寶壐,原藏於圆明園正大光明殿(附圖3),足兒乾隆皇帝鐘愛之深。《题題楊大章花卉二十四種》亦载於《清高宗御製詩三集》,内有題花鳥詩凡二十四首,分為「蘭、玉蘭、梨、桃、带、枝、紫藤、紫荆、金銀花、木香花、紫蘭、珠球、金絲桃、石榴、栀子、翠梅、灰竹桃、山丹、珍珠蘭、石竹、鳳仙、牵牛、翠雀、桂」,其中「玉蘭」位列其二。
故宫博物院藏有一對紫檀框嵌牙松鶴柏鹿排屏(附圖4),其形制及構圖等與拍品一致,且同為王杰恭書乾隆御題詩,館藏编號為:故00209879、故00209880。同館另藏一件酸枝木框漆地嵌玉梅石圖排屏(附圖5),亦以黄漆為地,其紋飾、装飾技法等舆拍品極為相似,兩件圖皆载於《故宫經典一故宫屏風圖典》,真329,圖177及页316,圖168。
此對排屏製作精良,工藝考究,選料贵重,雕刻精湛,彰顯宫廷造辦處的風格,值得實愛。

此器質,器體厚重。口微外撇,稍收,肩部兩侧設置鋪首環,腹壁圆曲,以横向弦紋分開圖紋層次,圈足底部外撇。整器以錯金銀為,鋪首環上飾勾連雲紋,口沿、腹部、足部均以龍紋為,簡潔大氣,器宇軒昂,腹下部飾紋,金銀平錯完美,磋磨光滑平潤,装飾性極强。口沿内壁有銘文「作祖尊」。
錯金銀工藝興盛於春秋中晚期,工藝要求複雜精細。本器無錯金銀、龍紋、默面鋪首來看,都颇具春秋、國(束周)藝術風格,但應為明末清初宫廷慕古之作。整器造型端莊,錯金明麗,錯銀古,線條流暢自然,技巧高超精湛,包圆融,置之高齋,非上古彝器,亦足可清赏,實難得精品。其造型、紋飾與《西清古》所錄錯金銀龍紋壶「周孔尊」十分相似,後者售於約佳土得,2020年3月18日,《肯珍藏重要中國藝術》專場,拍品编號636(附圖1)以250,000美元成交。

此盤為圆形,坦底,圈足,雕刻深峻,線條流暢,流轉自如,作剔犀工藝處理,盤心至緣雕刻多層如意卷雲紋飾,卷雲紋以三個漩冯為一組,呈「品」字形,最内層由三組卷雲紋組合成,第二層為六組卷雲紋,最外層的卷雲紋以四個漩冯為一組,呈海棠形,共有九組。雲頭朵朵相連,層層遮進,刀法圆轉雅麗,流畅優美。外壁以蓮瓣紋作饰。器表黑漆為面,細觀花紋浮起的緣略起棱角,刀口侧面約現出朱紅紋理。整器堆漆醇厚,包亮麗,美觀大方,雕刻精細,以簡約的圖案流露富貴莊重之態。
「剔犀」一词早在明初曹昭《格古要》中有所提及,當中《古漆器)條日:「古剔犀器血,以滑地紫犀為貴,底如仰瓦,光澤而薄。其色如膠(焦)秦色,俗之兒犀。亦有剔深峻者次之。福州做者色黄,滑地圆花兒者,之福犀,坚且薄亦難得。有雲者是也,元朝嘉與府西塘杨匯新作者,重數多,剔得深峻者,其膏(骨)子少有者,但黄地子者最易浮脱。」(附圖1)
後來在明末漆匠黄成《飾錄》中也有谈到剔犀的工藝:「剔犀,有朱面,有黑面,有透明紫面。或鳥間朱線,或紅間黑带,或雕等複,或三色更叠。其文皆疏刻劍環、绥環、重圈、回文、雲之類。純朱者不好。」(附圖2)
宋代漆器存世數量稀少,與本拍品刀法及花紋相同者更為罕見,一例為雲紋方盤,曾載於《宋元之美:以傅來的漆器為中心》,根津美術館,東京,2004年,编號108,後售於香港蘇富比,2023年10月9日,拍品编號2515,成交價1,651,000港(附圖3),該作品無是盤心還是外壁的圖案,都與本拍品風格高度一致,應為同一作坊之手筆。另兒江蘇金壇南宋周璃墓發現之團扇,現為镇江博物館藏品(附圖4、5),該扇扇柄上的卷雲紋呈現深 \Gamma_{\bigvee\big\bot} 形槽坑,轉角凌属,舆本拍品深峻的刀工相近。

我國古代一直有飲茶、品茗之傅統,至宋代茶道極為盛行,所以相的茶器也十分講究,因此就出現了盏托,作為放置茶盏的托盤,於奉茶时能防止燙指,在茶道活動中是不可缺少的器具之一。漆造盏托始見於宋代,正如在南宋家劉松年所的《茶圖》面中,便有一列盏托整齊地放在茶盏旁待用(附圖1、2)。
後來這類器具一直流行至明代,装飾風格更見華贵堂皇,例如明初皇室對漆器需求殷切,設立皇家漆器作坊,由内府御用管领,製作出一批漆層厚潤的官造漆器,其刀法圆滑有勁,構圖精細嚴謹,顯皇家富麗奢華氣派,可参考北京故宫博物院一例,同為剔紅花卉紋盏,風格與本拍品一胍相承,刊於《中國漆器全集》,福州,1995年,卷5,圖版26,真23(附圖3)。同類的剔紅盏托作品亦可参考香港抱一齋舊藏,售於香港蘇富比,2014年4月8日,拍品编號43,成交價1,600,000港(附圖4)。

炕桌為長方形,通體紅漆,以金、雕漆、镶嵌三種工藝結合精製而成。桌面以金飾不頭的「化」字錦紋,工匠先在朱漆地上剔刻出低陷的花紋,再填入金膠,乾後研磨平滑,使圖案露出清晰的金色紋路。炕桌牙板及腿足均做雕漆,以堆起的紅漆雕刻枝番蓮紋。牙板束腰,凹陷處刻方形「化」字錦地及回紋一周,四面镶嵌共十二塊玉璧,以條相連,玉璧表面施浅浮雕毅紋,古意盎然。牙板下接内翻回卷短足,足兩侧相連成板,板面雕碩大的如意雲頭,其表面亦飾枝番蓮紋。桌底、足底颗黑漆。
此炕桌形制规矩,牙板及桌腿所飾的番蓮紋乃是乾隆時期所流行的装飾圖案,加上雕刻刀功流暢,一鍵而就,亚密刻花筋葉胍,不施磨工,具乾隆時朝宫廷漆器之風格特點。同類作品可以参考清宫舊藏之剔紅番蓮紋長方几,現存於台北故宫博物院,館藏编號為故漆000046N000000000(附圖一)。
另一参考例子亦同為清宫舊藏,原置於養心殿内,現存於北京故宫博物院,見《故宫博物院藏品大系·明清傢具(下)》,香港,2002年,圖版134,真151(附圖二),其牙板下設托腮,番蓮圖案之間飾额外的蝙蝠紋,但整體造型及如意雲頭板的設計均與本拍出同一辙。至於私人收藏中,亦有相似例子可作参考,見美國收藏家恩·莱特斯曼(JayneWrightsman)舊藏之剔紅黑嵌螺炕桌,售於纽約佳土得,2020年10月14日,拍品编號57,成交價106,250美元,其束腰及托腮為剔黑回紋,束腰则嵌圆形螺貝片(附圖三)。
